HELP!

Carlee - vernon b.c.

I NEED THESE BOOTS!
When I was in gastown they didn't have my size.. and now i noticed that they have gone on sale! oh please, oh please someone let me know if there are any womens sizes anywhere... or please please please Mr. Fluevog make more of these please!!! :)

Faves!!

Starla - Saskatoon

All comments regarding sizing are correct-size down. I wear a 9 in most everything else and the 8 in these are perfect-with room for a thicker pair of tights or socks. These are BY FAR my favourite Fluevogs and my favourite boots, in general. There will be no reason to purchase another pair of boots-ever! Okay, maybe not...!! ,-)

Beauties!

Astrid - Vancouver

Oh man...... I have been lusting after these boots for months... When I found out about the Fluevog sample sale at the Gastown location I was optimistic I would be able to find something. Unfortunately I came up empty-handed. Nothing in my size in Women's, only a few things in Men's. So the next day I went to the Granville location and finally tried on the Coventry boots. They only had them in brown, which although the girl at the Gastown location said the Granville store only had them in black, I was secretly wanting the brown ones to begin with.
The fit......... They are pretty much made for my feet, they do not pinch or rub anywhere. Since they are lace-ups I can wear a nice wool sock and just choose to leave the top two lace holes undone so they fit better. They are also very versatile as I wore them with a dress and leggings yesterday, and skinny jeans tucked into the boot with a wool sock today.

I will definitely be returning to get the rubber cover on the sole though. I have worn them twice (3 hours yesterday, and 40 minutes today) and I can tell the sole will not last long without the rubber covering. Any rocks or gravel will easily chip away at the sole and then they will likely have to be completely redone. Luckily it is what the girl at the store recommended to me anyway to ensure they are not so slippery. These are my second pair of fluevogs, and considering my first are knee-high boots with an Angel sole, I didn't anticipate the sole of the Coventry's being affected by average walking so quickly.

Apparently they are discontinuing this style, so get them while you can!

Awesome

Jennifer dedrick - Nj

Just wore these for the first tie today...and wore them ALL day without any soreness. The leather is like butter and they are so pretty but not Girly. I went with the size 5, since these are unisex and I usually take a 7 1/2. They are roomy but not big. Fanfreakintastic

Marta - Oregon

These boots are incredibly comfortable; I have literally walked miles in them without a problem. They go great with skinny jeans, skirts, dresses...whatever! I own the a pair in brown, and I just love how malleable the leather is. I've gotten a ton of compliments while wearing these! Fluevogs are so pricey, but after you buy your first pair, you'll be hooked. They are the most unique, sexy, and comfortable shoes around.

Love, love these boots!!

Lori - Calgary

Many thanks once again to the awesome staff at the Calgary store. After reading the reviews and calling the store, I had a size 8 in the black held for me. I was quite dubious as I never take an 8..ever..until these beauties made their way into my life. I so love these. I just may have to make room for the brown version in my closet! Size down peeps...it's true.

Ultimate boots!

Lea - Montreal

Although the black Coventry boots were love at first sight for me, last Fluevog Day I chose to take home another pair. It took one whole year of lusting, of constantly going back to see them in the shop, of handling them (and maybe smelling them a little) before I tried them on. Oh. My. Trying them on for the first time felt like they never had left my feet. Why did I wait so long? They are the ultimate pair of badass boots, looking good with jeans or with dresses or skirts. I predict my other Fluevogs (and maybe my Frye's) will get jealous pretty soon...

Regarding to size, I usually wear a 39 (US 8.5), and these fit almost too perfectly in a women's 8 (men's 6).

Bettyburbs - Toronto

I can't tell you how much I love these! I sold 10 pairs of rarely worn shoes and boots on ebay this season then bought 3 pairs of Vogs! Two of "Frankie" in both black and brown and THESE!! I don't miss a single pair of the 10 others I let go (Fryes, Trippens, Campers etc)

I love these SO much, there is nothing you can wear that these will not make instantly cool!
You will be fearless and strong in these always! :-) ()-)

Even better!

James - Portland

I got these as an early Christmas gift, and they are FANTASTIC. So comfortable, so hot, and so badass! I already had a pair of the montagu, but these are even better. Hands down my fave out of four pairs of vogs. BIG shout out to the Boston store crew, they are the coolest!

Sexy Comfy!!

tzveyah - Charlotte, NC

Didn't think I'd ever use those two words to describe the same thing, but these shoes are absolutely sexy and absolutely comfy. My my, I used to be a Frye's Boots/shoes girl and I am now thoroughly a Fluevog girl. This weekend I'm actually working at selling all my Fryes, they just seem so uncomfortable compared to my Fluevogs!!! I'm usually around a 7.5, so I went with a 7 in this shoe and it fit like magic. No break in period whatsoever, I wore them for a full day the first time and it was wonderful! Amazing boots!!!

buttery happiness

tzveyah

I read the reviews and expected a breaking in period. There was none. On my second time wearing them I stood in them for 5 hours and it was wonderful. The leather feels like butter and the sole is like a dream. I'm always hesitant to buy something extravagant but these shoes earn their keep! I used to be a Fryes girl but now I'm completely a Vogs girl!

This boot puts the "ill" in "killer"!

Liz - Washington DC

I had been pining over this boot for the last time and finally I deserved a reward so I purchased this stunning pair and it was worth it! I fell in love with the look but then I put them on and fell deeper in love. They are very comfortable but you can tell they are really sturdy and high quality. I'm going to runway stomp around in my Coventrys until one of us can't keep walking. Reward your feet!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

christa - alameda, ca

I have waited nearly 2 years for these glorious boots to be re-stocked in brown, and it happened just in time for my birthday; ironically my 47th birthday, and these are my 47th pair of Fluevogs. Do not hesitate for one second to buy them, they will take you everywhere and you will love them madly. Just wore my black pair to walk all over London for 6 hours a day, so comfortable. As a 7.5 I have them in a 7 and they fit fine with regular socks.

Definition of Style

Tyrone - Vancouver

Have these boots in brown. Seriously have never had a more comfortable pair of shoes in my life. I would much rather wear these than anything else, and have. These boots not only have style but once you put your foot in them you will never go back.

Sexy boots!

Lavender - Vanccouver

I waited almost a year before writing this review. When I saw these boots in the store, I love them and wanted them ever so badly. I have to say it was a rocky start to our relationship...not the boot's fault. I normally take a 6 in shoes and 6.5 in boots but both Vancouver stores were out of my size...only a 7 was left. Went in and tried them on. They felt big but I convinced myself that they were perfect. (:-& The first couple of days were painful as the boots were too big and chafed. Over the next month, I added inserts and wore the boots with thicker boot socks. I also sprayed the inside with a mixture of alcohol and water (as suggested by a store clerk) and that helped a lot. The leather soften up and fits really well with all the admendments. I love these as much as I love all my Fluevog boots. ,-)

Betty Widerski - Boston MA

These boots are amazing - I just wore them for two 12+ hour days on my feet rehearsing/soundchecking/performing and was still happy to put them on again on day 3! Plus I was repeatedly complimented on them by everyone, including holding my foot over my head in a workshop so those behind me could see. You should consider including a pack of business cards with each purchase, so that owners can hand them out when others ask "where do you get those?!"

As young as you feel

melly - virginia

What is 54 year old woman doing wearing these boots? Seriously struttin' her stuff! I bought these in black—thought I'd missed them last year and am stunned that John brought them back for a second year—and the 7s recommended by the NYC store fit my size 8 feet perfectly (with a standard boot sock). They were stiff to start, but flex up more with each wearing; the ankles are "breaking" and scrunching beautifully. I replaced the stretchy fibre shoelaces issued with them with black leather lacings, which better suit the style and stay tied tighter for better calf-grippage. They are disturbingly noisy—I don't like to hear my own footsteps— but I expected that from the sole construction. They look exceptionally good paired with a girly skirt for seeing the symphony, but are stable and supportive paired with my straight-leg levis when I go offtrail, stomping around in nature. After I get a bit more mileage on them, I'm gonna take a wire brush to 'em and give 'em some fake scuffing—as if they could get any sexier! And oh yeah: they make my husband act like my boyfriend.

Long live the Earl...

Neil - Melbourne, Australia

Buying shoes online can be a hai and miss affair, but not with Fluevogs. Not only do they fit like a glove, They are according to my wife HOT. Earl of Warwicks are terrific, amazing and that's some of the reviews from my work colleagues. These boots can change your life for the better, what have you got to loose, get em. Now for my second pair and maybe my second life?

Karo - NYC

I got these boots about a year ago, and am still wearing them on a daily basis. I did have to bring them in for a few adjustments - the lining had ripped and I wore through the soles pretty quickly. The Fluevog shoe doctors patched up my lining and added on some extra-strength soles, and I haven't had a problem since then. These are the most attractive, most comfortable, best boots I've ever owned and I can only hope that they are not discontinued anytime soon.

Hanana San - Vancouver

I am in love with these boots. I agonized about them for weeks. I had dreams about them. I got butterflies in my stomach every time I walked by. I gazed lovingly at their picture on the website for what seemed like an eternity until, finally, yesterday (payday!), I bounced into the Gastown store like a child on christmas morning and gleefully purchased them. They are so unbelievably killer comfortable. I generally fit a size 9 women's shoe and these were dead-on--no tightness or pinching in the toe box or across the foot at all. Like all worthwhile boots, the ankles take a little wearing in, but they're quick to do so; I also haven't had any trouble with the heels. The leather is beautiful--the colour of chocolate fondue with an undertone of caramel...I just spent an hour conditioning them and it was zen bliss. Be warned: you cannot hurry in these boots! They are not made for running. You can only walk confidently, in your own time, with purpose. So far I have worn them with a denim miniskirt, flared jeans, and a utilikilt, and have yet to find something they don't go with. If my size ever comes back in black I will buy a pair of those too.
A great big shout out to the Gastown staff for being so utterly rad-tastic, genuine, and helpful. THANK YOU FLUEVOG. <3

Only if your up for it

Davidmichael Schmidt - NYC/Albany

With out a doubt the hottest boot out there. I have always loved my Flues but these shoes.. Prepare yourself to tell people where you got them. I am constantly approached bout these bad boys. I have the Brown, the black and the chained back versions. The sole did wear out very fast (2 months) on the base and heal but I took them to the local cobbler and for 15.00 each. That was 15 months ago, I wear robins jeans a lot and they are a bit long so i strap my jean in the buckle strap and they look hot. Love them, wear them, wish they came in a shoe

Style + durability = perfect

Elisabeth - Seattle

A friend who spends every day on her feet bought a pair of these in black and sang their praises to the heavens; once I saw them, I knew I had to have them, but it took a year before I took the plunge. Once I did, I had not a moment's regret. They're gorgeous, easy to wear, nicely durable for most circumstances, and way more comfortable than most so-called "rugged" fashion boots. They're a perfect women's 8 on me; the only even minor complaint is that the ankles were very stiff at first and gave me blisters, but a little moleskin and some break-in took care of that. I will love these to pieces, probably literally.

Deeeelish!

J Matheson - Chicago

Great style, mucho fashion for the price, and the craftsmanship is amazing. Highly recommended! One of my absolute fave styles of the many pairs I have purchased over the past 17 years!

i get home and am sad to take them off!

lindsey - Chatham

I love these boots so much. I got rubber soles put on them for rain and a little bit of snow. My shoe guy was so excited to work with such quality. I am on my feet most of the day and when i walk home at the end of the day i am sad that i will have to remove my shoes upon entering the house : ( they get more comfortable as the day goes on!

erica - seattle

These boots are my 7th pair of Fluevogs, and my favorite thus far!!! The true test was my 7 day trip back home to the mid-west. These boots were the only pair of shoes I had for the trip (I wanted to put them to task). I put many many miles on these babies, and my feet were in heaven. Plus they were dead sexy when they needed to be, and just damn sensible boots for all other occasions.

Shane Van Pelt - NY and NM

I bought these boots about two months ago, and wanted to write a review when I had experienced the boots. You can walk around all day in these boots, be on a train, lug your things around, and all while looking stylish and in comfort. The leather is supple, and once you wear them a number of times they are easy to pull off and on. My complaints are only that of nit picking... for an example, I spent a good deal of dough on these shoes, and so I should not have extra (unused) stitching holes, nor signs of the leather being tooled (like on the strap). The tongue, on both shoes have a tendency to drift. On the left foot I tied it tighter and stopped the drift, on the right foot that doesn't work, I just adjust it from time to time because it likes to drift, so I don't argue. Over all, for style, for beauty, comfort, I love these boots! I plan on buying a friend a pair of these.

Boots to Live In

Leslye - Pittsburgh, PA

Thanks to Alan in the NY store who responded to my request for info when I was trying to purchase boots online (DO use that feature), I changed my order from something that would not have worked to these. I have wide feet and big calves. The adjustability of this style works great. The leather is softening and conforming nicely. I was going to have the toe box stretched a bit, but I couldn't take them off long enough to do it, and now it's not necessary. I can walk all day in them, feeling strong & stylish. I find myself planning my wardrobe around them. These are lifetime boots.

The Boots of My Dreams

christa - alameda

The minute I saw these boots online in black I had to have them, and they absolutely did not disappoint in person; well-made and so comfortable that I wore them and walked for several hours the first time with no issues. I'm a 7.5 and as advised, the 7 fit perfectly.

worth the wait!!!!!

kim payne - vancouver bc

oh lord!!!! i searched for months for the perfect boot. i was not settling for anything less than perfect either. after walking into the vancouver, granville street store and spotting these babies, i knew my search was over. they fit my requirements of being unique, 'hot' and comfortable... tell me where else you're ever going to find that! i wore them out of the store that day, walked all over town in them and my feet were happy! i've since worn them to a concert, walking all over town again & dancing and my feet feel great. i love catching sight of them as i walk past a window or mirror and thinking those are some 'nasty' boots! they fit my look and personality perfectly! thank you, thank you, thank you!
oh, i should add that the sales staff were so beyond helpful and the service i received was unsurpassed!

Have Mercy!

Kari Gronros - Mulberry St, NYC

I have never had a pair of boots that I have loved more than these, not even my other Fluevogs! They are indescribably, perfectly comfortable and feel as though they were hand-made for me. I would also like to mention that Anton is one the most personable and well-spoken store employee I have ever met! Please don't ever stop making these as I want to be wearing them when I'm old and decrepit so everyone else in the nursing home will know that i once kicked ass!

abigael - Port Townsend

Fresh leathery smell, firm on the foot - but the promise of yielding is there. The 1/2 size lower fit is perfect with room for my insoles. Toe box is a dream. The look is exactly right, motorcycle/gypsy/cowgirl. I am wearing them out tonight. Here we go.

Kim - Chicago

@>- I love these boots! I tried the brown ones on just for fun and then couldn't leave the store without them! They look fabulous (color is awesome) and fit like a dream. I have a narrow foot and these are perfect. Broke them in while walking the dog and then wore them a couple days later, walked all over the city and they felt great. Thank you Fluevog!!

Beyond perfect

Robin - CT

I bought these boots for the unique and fab look. I almost screamed with joy when I realized how comfortable they are. Roomey thru the toe area and a perfect fit over the arch with the backle. THE MOST comfortable pair of shoes I own.

Ysaac - Boston MA

:-} It's so comfortable for being a boot, makes me feel a real Star. I will get it once the get my size. They might run a bit bigger than other shoes. It'll takes you up to sky! high so high...cheers

Like a Glove

Maggie - Edmonton

I went to the Vog store on Queen St.with the intention of buying these boots. They fit so perfectly, like a glove. The fella helping me was even wearing these!!! God I love that store! I wore these the day after I bought them all day long and my feet were comfortable the entire day. I then wore them 2 days later and again, just perfect. The are just a bit of a pain in the arse when you have to take them off at airport security and then do them up again and your all ready running late for your flight!
